Interesting. I don't know if i'm just too baked to realize why.. but what are the benefits of drawing the 240$ tier first? I see the benefit of drawing the 390$ first. I really don't care (I registered for the pre-sale, so I really don't care what tier I get, as long as I get a ticket,) I'm just curious.

I can stop sounding smart at the drop of a hat. I have yet to be able to stop being a smartass, though.

If you did the $390 tickets first, it might motivate people to not register for that tier even if they could afford it, because they know they'll be able to get tickets later. The way it's built now, you don't penalize anyone for registering for a higher tier. That's another one of those WAGs though.

I believe if they find a duplicate only one gets removed (if it looks weird a real live person looks at it, it's not all done by computer). A big reason for the two weeks between registration & draw is so the lists can be culled for known scalpers and for duplicate orders (probably other issues as well).

They are aware that some people may try to game the system and are watching for it.
